Vacation's Over and We're Back on the Blog

We had a great vacation in our basement. Really. It was great. We recommend it for all you married folks out there. Go in to your basement for a week and only come up to eat and sleep. Your marriage will never be the same. Ha!

All kidding aside, that pretty much was our schedule for the last week. But taking the week off allowed us to accomplish quite a bit toward de-junking and organizing our basement. We carted things off to Goodwill, we carted books off to the library, we carted things out to the trash, we repaired, we built, we moved, we organized, we sorted, we dreamed, and we made a couple new plans. We did keep the dogs.

It feels good to get organized. There's something spiritual about establishing order from chaos. First the basement, then the garage, then our lives...

I was even able to build a workbench and creat a Man Corner in the basement. That's an idea that took six years to come to fruition. All in the Lord's time I guess.

There's still plenty to do down there. Especially in the category of sorting nuts, bolts, washers, screws, cotter pins, and other hardware odds and ends accumulated over the years, but praise the Lord we have another week of vacation in February! Will we spend that week in the basement too? Stay tuned!
